Info on this car

Caught this one on Monday.  Always like to shoot Fallen Flag cars.  Anyone have any info on this one - builder, date built, what does it normally carry, etc.

Strange, I have an Athearn Genesis version that is a few numbers up from this one (269106). Well the box for mine says it's a 60' I.C.C. Box.

I remember I looked what it was for when I got it, but am fuzzy on the details. I think they were for appliances, but it was a while ago.

If N scale had good SD40-2s, C30-7s, U30Cs, SD45s, SD40s, and SW10s; I'd be in N scale.

Since it was a single car on a CSX train, I was thinking it was probably for appliances.  Checked the MoPac Historical site but could not find anything.  I'll keep looking.  For some reason I just like this car and would like something like it in N.

Side sill profile looks like PC&F; ICC is/was a subsidiary so that sounds about right.

These 60' cars are usually appliance cars.
